Another Use for Natural Gas.

Natural gas is now being used at the salt
works at Lake Shore, the old Utah Central
bathing resort, for the purpose of making
salt. The experiment has only been recently
tried, but so far it has proven to be most
unqualified success, and the proprietors arc
jubilant over the result so far attained The
method employed is the vat principle Tue
water is pumped from the lake into a wat
raised few inches higher than the ona III
which the salt is made. The two are cons
nected by pipe, the mouth of which is ipr,-
tected by a fine wire sieve, which Prev ~
any foreign matter entering the lower 7at
Underneath the lower vat, which is twet'7s
feet by five and fourteen inches deep, four
large jets of natural gas are placed, and tbese
give out an extreme heat that is simply re

! driving for water, and they are now turned
! to better advantage than the water could
have been.
The method of making the salt is ar e&
tremely simple one The water is run inuo
the vat the gas jets lighted, and when the
brine attains great heat, the salt, being he
heavier body, sinks to the bottom, and the

suit is clean, white salt, such as makes some
of the brands now on the markets assume an
ebony tint by comparison. The salt is claimed
to be much purer than any other similar lake
product, and if snowy whiteness goes for
aught, they certainly have goou grou,, !; .r-
their assertions. The using of natural gas
cuts down expenses materially, and it raay
yet be that natural gas will form one of zee
great natural resources of the territory -

Two Little Exacntioners.

The World tells a story of two youthful
Bostonians of "good families" aged and 6
years, who were so impressed by that famous
work, "Fox's Book of Martyrs" that they de
termined to initiate the events therein mar
rated. Did they, then, proceed to sit upon
gridirons, or to twist each others noses with
pincers? Not much. 1t was not the martyrs
but the executioners they wanted to emulate.
They accordingly captured two pet pullets
belonging to a neighbor, and "tying them to
stake, built fire and roasted them to
death" 1t is not stated, but it is most
sincerely to be hoped, that the parents of
these youths treated them to little martyr
dam on their own account.-New Orleans

He Admires His Picture.

A singular story was told me of the way in
which a great mastiff who had never been in
the city manifested his opposition to being
"taken." After some little trouble he was
placed in position facing the instrument, and
remained quiet till the photographer pulled
the cloth from in front of his lens and let the
big glass eye stare at the huge dog. This was
two much for the mastiff, who at once sprang
at the machine and pulled it down before his
owner could interfere to prevent his doing
any further damage. Then, after quieting
the animal and letting him see what was
wanted of him, he submitted calmly to being
'taken," and was so pleased with his photo
graph that a copy is kept in his kennel firmly
fastened by frame and covered by glass,
which prevents him from exercising his pro-
pensity to lick it with his tongue-Boston

Habits of the Herring.

remarkable illustration of the puzzling
migratory habits of the herring has just been
observed on the southwest coast of Norway,
at the socalled Jederen, between the towns
OF Stavanger and Ergersund. This district
used to be one of the richest herring fishing
grounds in Norway during the spring, but
about twenty-five years ago the fish suddenly
and completely disappeared from the coast.
Last month enormous shoals once more came
under shore, first striking land" at the same
spot as in former times. The quality of the
herring is exactly the same as it was twenty
FIVE years ago, and the shoals were accom-
